Boutiques and/or Connections. With those stats and this market, applying to BBs through traditional routes will almost certainly be fruitless. I'd contact every boutique investment bank, advisory firm, small pe fund, asset management, consulting etc. firm you can find (there are hundreds). If you can get an interview at a handful, and don't mind taking a haircut on prestige, pay, exit ops etc., you've got a shot. Or, go work in industry at a Dow component or other large, reputable corporation and plan to get an MBA. Then redo.
